Myeloid dendritic cells type 2 after allergen inhalation in asthmatic subjects
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that mediate the response to inhaled allergen. A major division in DC ontogeny exists between myeloid DCs (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). A subtype of mDC expressing thrombomodulin, termed myeloid DCs type 2 (mDC2s), has been identified in both the circulation and lung and has recently been suggested to have a role in allergic asthma. OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes in circulating and sputum mDC2s after allergen inhalation in subjects with asthma. METHODS: Peripheral blood and induced sputum were obtained before and 3, 7, and 24 h after inhalation of diluent and allergen from allergic asthmatic subjects who develop both allergen-induced early- and late-phase responses. mDC2s were measured by flow cytometry. Soluble BDCA-3 (thrombomodulin) was measured in sputum by ELISA. RESULTS: The number of sputum mDC2s significantly increased 24 h after allergen challenge compared with diluent. The expression of BDCA-3 on sputum mDCs also increased, albeit non-significantly, at 7 and 24 h after allergen. Soluble BDCA-3 in sputum and the number of circulating mDC2s were not different between allergen and diluent. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Myeloid DCs type 2 (mDC2s) increase in the sputum of subjects with asthma after allergen challenge, suggesting this subtype of mDC is involved in the regulation of allergen responses in the lung.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
